Tailboat from
"The Man With
The Golden Gun"
1974 with
Roger Moore as
James Bond,

Thai boat that was a spare boat when 007 The man with
the golden gun
was recorded?
I bought the
1977 boat of
Arnold Sundqvist
(most famous for
his
jet-dragons).
At that time he
had a propeller
foundry in
Thailand and
lived there in
winter.
His story was
that he was
contacted by the
film company to
acquire two
boats.
Through his
contacts, he got
two boats built.
These were made
far into the
river system
where the road
was missing.
Since boat
number 1 was
working well,
the spare boat
did not have to
be used. Arnold had to buy it back and took it to Sweden, after which I bought it.
With a 4 meter
long propeller
shaft behind the
boat, it is
impossible to go
skiing, why a
ski boat was
bought two years
later and the
Thai has since
left unused.
Built in teak
and there are
probably some
dirt cracks in
the hull and the
engine is
toasted. Requires refurbishment if used, but fits as well as exhibits with James Bond
affiliation.
I can imagine
depositing it on
the museum or
selling it.
Now it is in Olofström, but transport may be arranged.

The James Bond Museum in Nybro can now add a
real rarity to the exhibition.
A tail boat from Thailand, specially made for the Bond film
"Man with the Golden Gun", can be viewed at the museum next
week. A donation from a man who is a friend of the boatmaker in Thailand who made
the boat.
- In front of the movie "The man with the golden gun", two
tailboats were made identical.
This is one of the boats, "says the champion Gunnar Schäfer.
Also known as James Bond.

It was on Wednesday that the boat arrived at Nybro. A man from Olofström had owned the boat since the 70's and for a long time
thought of donating it to the Nybro museum, something that
has now become reality.
"He had long thought about donating the boat and called a
few days ago. On Wednesday he stood outside the museum in the parking lot with a big trailer
and knocked on and said now I'm here, we had not planned at
all where we would keep it, says Schäfer.
The boat was built in 1973 is closer to ten meters long with
the engine deposited and will take place between the gondola
and the aircraft at the museum. The boat is only available in two copies worldwide and can be considered a
luxury to the exhibition.

There is another thing in the collection that is unique and that it is so old.Do you have any discussions about donations?
- It's something unique, never had it before.
Most of them want to pay, but there are no real finances
here.
It is at this level that people should donate to museums to
develop them. It's a bit based on people being shy, says "James Bond" Schäfer.
